He <br />also mentioned .that every 'time lndi;an River County is awarded a grant, points <br />are deducted on"the-:next grant application. <br />Sasan also ointedof t' that unfortunately these grants are reviewed <br />County wide and not cormunity-wide. The wealthy communities in Indian River <br />County therefore skews the data. <br />Mr. Floyd asked if it would be helpful to submit the application early. Mr. <br />Alday confirmed that="getting beginning work on an application in early gives time <br />to earn more optional points such as `readiness to proceed' but will probably take <br />2-3 tries before an application is awarded. <br />Mr. Rigby asked if the West Wabasso Sewage Project was combined with the <br />Wabasso Phase I project. Mr. Burke stated that project is in addition to the <br />Phase I project. In addition, Mr. Burke also said that the grant for this project will <br />be for $750,000, and there will be a deficit to complete the project because the lift <br />station and the road restoration will take up a large portion of the grant. <br />CDBG / Un -Approved December 19, 2013 <br />C:\Users\aweragoda\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet <br />Files\Content.Outlook\UDJ6DNQ\MCDBG CATF 11 06 14 Meeting Minutes.doc <br />94 <br />
